| Summary: | In this paper $ss$-quotient maps and $ssq$-spaces are introduced. It is shown that (1) countable tightness is characterized by $ss$-quotient maps and quotient maps; (2) a space has countable tightness if and only if it is a countably bi-quotient image of a locally countable space, which gives an answer for a question posed by F. Siwiec in 1975; (3) $ssq$-spaces are characterized as the $ss$-quotient images of metric spaces; (4) assuming $2^\omega<2^{\omega_1}$, a compact $T_2$-space is an $ssq$-space if and only if every countably compact subset is strongly sequentially closed, which improves some results about sequential spaces obtained by M. Ismail and P. Nyikos in 1980. (English) |
